My Day

Nice LadyScrapper - wish I could find computer stuff like that for free. I keep getting outbid on all of my auctions, etc. I did pick up some power line stuff today while waiting for one of my storage auctions to start. Got there and 6 trucks contracting out to the local power company was restocking from the storage unit. Noticed them tossing all sorts of stuff into the dumpster. After they parted I looked in. Found a few lengths of wire, a few odds/ends, and this large bus fuse type thing. No idea what it came from, I took some pictures to research. It is heavy however, and looked to have some brass on it.

ok, didn't want to start a whole new thread about this, just want someone to make me feel a little better with a chance I took today lol. From everything I've read, it seems you can spend up to $4-5 per comp. and still make money. I put a bid in today on 53 computers, plus flat screen monitors, keyboards/mice, and a couple printers, for $165. Tell me I'm not going to lose my butt on this, plus $30 for gas if I win to go get them.

lol no your gonna be banking.

This came from a small non-profit. Had to haul it all from a third floor attic, but that's ok, I needed the exercise

Thanks Miked I've been reading all the escrap threads, but still can't seem to figure it all out very well. There used to be a computer components sticky, but I can't find it now...

Looks like the ladies are out doing some of us guys. nice hall Ladyscrapers.

"horizotal type tower" is referred to as a desktop unit. Looks like an HP Vectra probably a 486 or Pentium 90 ceramic cpu. Looks like a nice collection you picked up especially for free.

MNTNMN if you get that load for that price you will do fine.

Thanks part time
